VANDAL / Motor-G
Overview
By its own estimate, Motor-G is Ukraine’s largest maker of electric motors for drones. Mass production began in December 2024, and by February 2026 the company said it was shipping about 200,000 motors a month to more than 100 drone manufacturers. Its range covers nine motors for FPV, bomber, fixed-wing and interceptor drones. VANDAL, presented in March 2026, is a high-power brushless motor built for fast interceptor drones weighing 3–5 kg; the company says interceptors using it reached about 350 km/h in tests. Several drone makers have tested it, and it is now sold as a serial product. The company says up to 85% of each motor is made in Ukraine, though the magnets are still imported. Motor-G is funded by its founders and says it is discussing joint production with European companies.
